What is Cross-Contamination?
Cross-Contamination Definition
Cross-contamination transposes dirt and microorganisms from one place to another, often caused by improper cleaning protocols. For example, a cleaner uses the same cleaning equipment to wipe surfaces, such as a toilet seat, mirror, or sink.
Cross-contamination can also occur by air circulation (dispersing dust) or inappropriate laundering of reusable products, such as microfiber mops and cloths.
